Shortwave broadcasts recorded in the Midwestern US on the Ten-Tec RX-320D or Eton E1XM receivers, using the recording facility of the Shortwave Log software. The file names primarily follow the format Station ID - Transmitter Location (if known) - frequency - date and start time, but expect some recordings to be misidentified. The QRM includes city power lines, street lights with bad ballasts, household electronics, and interference from Radio Havana Cuba.
